Benninger - Competence in textile machinery

Benninger - Competence in textile machinery

The Swiss company Benninger produces machinery and plants which meet the highest standards for weaving preparation and textile finishing. The range of Benninger products is rounded off with tire cord systems and the Benninger drive and control units. The name Benninger stands for controlled and consistent quality, process reliability and cost-effectiveness. At Benninger, great emphasis is also placed on the environmental impact of the company's products, which is why all machines and plants are subject to continuous improvement programmes.
Benninger will show the following machines at ITMA Asia & CITME 2008 in Shanghai:

The new VERSOMAT sectional warping machine
A new machine concept takes sectional warping of sample warps and short warps into a new dimension. With the specially designed robot, hitherto unheard of production speeds are now possible. This allows sectional warping of sections down to a minimum of 4 mm, enabling cost-effective warp production with a significantly reduced number of bobbins in the creel. Thanks to the optimised use of yarn and new partial creel operation, it has been possible to reduce loading and idle times compared to conventional sectional warping machines.
Potential applications for the VERSOMAT system range from finest silk or cotton yarn to coarsest woollen yarn.
The ergonomics of a VERSOMAT sectional warping plant are perfect for quick and easy operation. Together with the process control, this forms the basis for cost-effective production of sample warps and short warps of outstanding quality.

Küsters DyePad from Benninger
Following the acquisition of Küsters Textile GmbH in Zit-tau/Switzerland, Benninger is now in a position to offer the Küsters DyePad. Flexibility of the dyer is maximised with the new S-roller technology. The rubber coating of the S-roller has been further im-proved. The new fabric guidance and the Benninger drive system guarantee stretch-free fabric transport for all fabric qualities, in particu-lar also for the rapidly expanding open width knitwear market. Another advantage of the Küsters DyePad is its high availability, which is backed up by our Benninger Service.

As well as the machinery and plants, Benninger can also offer process engineering competence to match. For the company's customers, this means that they can use the comprehensive expertise and support of Benninger consultants for their own, individual needs. This allows them to not only meet the increasing demands placed on textile products, but also allows them to set new trends.

Benninger AG is an international corporation which has developed from its foundation in 1859 to become a global leader in the manufac-turing of textile machinery, evolving over the years into the role of an integral process partner for the textile industry. In December 2007, Benninger acquired the company Küsters Textile GmbH (Zit-tau/Germany) together with the company's subsidiaries in China. With 750 highly qualified employees world-wide, Benninger currently achieves a turnover of around CHF 270 million.

Benninger will be welcoming its international audience with great in-terest at the ITMA Asia & CITME 2008 in hall E5, stand B09.
